Today
The Rejectionist passed along a seeeerious time-waster, but as it's probably not quite as much of a time-waster as the Wordle thing, I figure it's safe to pass it on to you guys. Basically, you paste in a chunk of text (as with Wordle) and the program analyzes it and compares it to a bunch of authors and figures out who you write like. It is the MOST ACCURATE thing I have EVER SEEN, because look:
I write like
Margaret AtwoodI Write Like by Mémoires,
Mac journal software.
Analyze your writing! Apparently, THE IRON WOOD could have been written by Margaret Atwood! And look at this, when I input text from this blog, I get:
I write like
H. P. LovecraftI Write Like by Mémoires,
Mac journal software.
Analyze your writing! (Note: Okay, so maybe my blog isn't exactly H.P. Lovecraft. And maybe that means the first one is not exactly accurate either. No, scratch that. It is TOTALLY ACCURATE. *clings with deathgrip to comparison to Margaret Atwood.)
What sorts of writers do you guys get?
